Medulloblastoma and ependymoma cells display levels of 5-carboxylcytosine and elevated TET1 expression (2017)
Journal Article
Ramsawhook, A., Lewis, L., Coyle, B., & Ruzov, A. (2017). Medulloblastoma and ependymoma cells display levels of 5-carboxylcytosine and elevated TET1 expression. Clinical Epigenetics, 9(18), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148-016-0306-2

Background
Alteration of DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine, 5mC) patterns represents one of the causes of tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Tet proteins can oxidize 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine (...

This article collates information about the number of scientific articles mentioning each of the established medulloblastoma cell lines, derived through a systematic search of Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar in 2016. The data for each cell... Read More about Data on the number and frequency of scientific literature citations for established medulloblastoma cell lines.

In vitro models of medulloblastoma: choosing the right tool for the job (2016)
Journal Article
Ivanov, D. P., Coyle, B., Walker, D. A., & Grabowska, A. M. (2016). In vitro models of medulloblastoma: choosing the right tool for the job. Journal of Biotechnology, 236, 10-25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiotec.2016.07.028

The recently-defined four molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma have required updating of our understanding of in vitro models to include molecular classification and risk stratification features from clinical practice. This review seeks to build a... Read More about In vitro models of medulloblastoma: choosing the right tool for the job.

Long-term exposure to irinotecan reduces cell migration in glioma cells. (2016)
Journal Article
Al-Ghafari, A. B., Punjaruk, W., Storer, L., Carrier, D., Hussein, D., Coyle, B., & Kerr, I. D. (2016). Long-term exposure to irinotecan reduces cell migration in glioma cells. Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 127(3), 455-462. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11060-016-2058-4

In spite of considerable research into the therapies for glioblastoma multiforme this tumour type remains very difficult to treat. As well as having a tendency to be inherently resistant to chemotherapy, glioblastoma multiforme also displays local in...

Supratentorial and spinal pediatric ependymomas display a hypermethylated phenotype which includes the loss of tumor suppressor genes involved in the control of cell growth and death (2012)
Journal Article
Rogers, H. A., Kilday, J., Mayne, C., Ward, J., Adamowicz-Brice, M., Schwalbe, E. C., …Grundy, R. G. (2012). Supratentorial and spinal pediatric ependymomas display a hypermethylated phenotype which includes the loss of tumor suppressor genes involved in the control of cell growth and death. Acta Neuropathologica, 123(5), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00401-011-0904-1

Epigenetic alterations, including methylation, have been shown to be an important mechanism of gene silencing in cancer. Ependymoma has been well characterized at the DNA copy number and mRNA expression levels. However little is known about DNA methy...

CD105 (Endoglin) exerts prognostic effects via its role in the microvascular niche of paediatric high grade glioma (2012)
Journal Article
in the microvascular niche of paediatric high grade glioma. Acta Neuropathologica, 124(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00401-012-0952-1

Paediatric high grade glioma (pHGG) (World Health Organisation astrocytoma grades III and IV) remains poor prognosis tumours, with a median survival of only 15 months following diagnosis. Current investigation of anti-angiogenic strategies has focuse... Read More about CD105 (Endoglin) exerts prognostic effects via its role in the microvascular niche of paediatric high grade glioma.
